About Flexible Design Thinking

logos and Branding Projects

To keep integrity and authenticity in a brand means the visual style will change over the years to maintain it's core theme as culture changes. Over time, it becomes a system with a complex collection of assets and history. The process of creating a logo can accelerate the brand identity process because the emerging picture itself can reveal insights about the community it represents by involving them in a design thinking process.

On the system example, we see the logo with different colors, graphic elements, and style that can be applied where appropriate.
